In a discussion on youtube, some white folk are saying that they DO have melanin. It's been my overstanding in general, that they have NO melanin to speak of....hence, thier 'white skin' tone.

What's the deal with this:?:

Is it not the melanin which gives Afreekan Descendents 'color' or is it something else:?:

I've also thought about this in terms of our lighter skinned Afreekan Descendents.

Also, I KNOW I could do a goggle search and have it become a research project, yet, I'm interested in hearing from those who have already done the research and can address this.
Thanks in advance

Greetings truetothecause,

According to my investigation, the white people in the video were making a true statement.

Have you ever ruined film by opening a camera in daylight? White people talk about melanin and skin color but what they don't tell you about is the critical role of melanin in regard to eyesight.

Without melanin coating the inside of your eye and throughout the iris, images passing through the pupil would "bounce" around and form a "fuzzy" image on the back of your eye; this is why people with albinism have poor eyesight.

Some people also say this is the reason why nonwhite people like bright colors. For people with lower levels of melanin, strong colors can cause discomfort by forcing the pupils to "work harder" to produce a clear image. But for nonwhite people, specifically dark skinned people, the "darkroom" of the eye is efficient enough to produce a crisp, clear image even in bright sunlight.

Also, as you age, you will lose the ability to produce melanin not only in your hair, but in your eyes. As a consequence it will be more difficult for you to see in bright sunlight.

I know this because I am experiencing it.

Remember when you were a kid and you played outside and never wore sunglasses?

Yes they do however it is in recessive amounts. Melanin plays a role in energy conversion within the body. Without sufficent amounts of melanin energy is not balanced out an melanin recessive person will be able to perceive the energy correctly or convert it. Thus they cannot feel it. Melanin plays a crucial role in hearing,enviormental perception,visual energetic perception as stated by the brother above. The most crucial role melanin plays is within the neural crest for it is the architect that is responsible for the arrangement of the atoms after the big bang or sperm hits the ovum. This electromagetic energetic existence is response able and is all the has came to be and never was.

It is understandable that the person who began this thread thought that whites have no melanin because there is so much, often intentional, misinformation about melanin being propagated by black folks as well as white folks.

But, key point, once you look past the exterior, past the obvious differences in skin melanin, no one has yet been able to determine consistent differences in levels of neuro-melanin [the melanin within] between the so-called races of people.

All this intentional use of the adjective "recessive" is intentionally meant to imply, in the absence of any scientific research, that whites are genetically inferior to blacks. But, that view is more wishful thinking than anything else.

There was a time when I _wanted_ to believe whites were inferior and that melanin was proof of this. I read a lot of books [King, Barnes, Moore, Bynum, Brown, Welsing, etc.] trying to find proof of this inferiority. I finally had to concede that there was none. I, next, then had to do some serious soul searching as to why it had been so important to me to "prove" that whites were inferior.

What makes a person "white" or "black" is more mental than physical. But, this is not the sort of thing that whites who hate blacks, and blacks who hate whites, want to hear.

Domiant and recessive are terms developed by the scientific society. Not militant black individuals. This termonology speaks to the geno and pheno types that carrier a certain mathmatical sum that when put to gather creates a certain physical illusion of still energy.

There is nothing to be gained by living in fear of white people, or their police. Once you understand that life does not end at the grave, or begin at the womb, you take away _all_ the _perceived_ power that whites have to harm you.

Once you no longer fear white people --- and most black people do fear white people, even though they would never admit it, not even to themselves --- there is no longer anything to be gained by hating them ... or cutting them open to see what runs out.
